Scottish Construction Now writes:
Councillors had unanimously opposed the original plans by Barratt Homes for the development at Duntiglennan Fields.
The application was then approved by a Scottish Government planning reporter due to there being a short-term lack of new private homes in the region.
The Court of Session agreed in October 2021, and then refused to let the appeal reach the Supreme Court.
West Dunbartonshire Council then asked the Supreme Court directly, but it refused to take up the case, the Clydebank Post reports.
Lord Hodge, Lord Leggatt and Lady Rose said permission was refused “because the application does not raise an arguable point of law of general public importance”….
Papers published for the upcoming planning committee this month state:
“This decision means that the council has exhausted legal routes to appeal…”
